Wales Rally Picture Thread

Post by dragonwheels »

Here we go - get your wet and muddy pics up here for us all to share. Thanks to everyone for making the trip, probably a good few Real Ale hangovers about this morning - lucky Gerald the Landlord got the toilets finished his year.

Shall we hold it in "summer" next year?

KTM Jon for showing me how my bike should look after cleaning :woohoo: AMAZING!

Thanks to everyone for a great weekend, fantastic ride, brilliant location and company. I had no knowledge that all of these rides lay within a short commute from home in Bath! :)

My first ABR event and certainly not my last. As a novice I picked up loads of tips and special thanks for helping me sort out the small chunk of glass imbedded in my front tyre. Sorry for leading the tail of the ride out through the car park on sat. Thought the last rider had gone past and when I realised they hadn't went into a car park to turn around and go back I found them all behind me :blush:

Was suposed to be a novice ride but since we did'nt have a advance ride leader i seemed to take the more experienced group with only 1 rider that had no experience ( James XC800) he coped very very well and took my hat off to him for trying and coping with everything, although Myddfai lane did have a few people that wanted to hurt me is some way i hoped they all enjoyed our wonderfull lanes.
Here's only a couple of pics i managed to get as we were having so much fun slpashing about in the puddles

Random ones in the car park

Waer splash on the roman road, few of the other more experanced groups decided to go around this for some reason

A big thank you to Jase and Jon for their guidance and wise words throughout Saturday's ride. The one thing I did learn was to get to the cafe before Jon if you were hungry! :-)

Hi all, looks like you had a great time in Wales!

We're running a Wales Rally picture spread in the next issue of ABR magazine. If you've posted pics here and would like to share them in the magazine as well as on the forum, email them to me at [email protected]; if you've not posted pics online yet, we'd love to see them, too!

Cheers everyone, Em
